Aztec prepares for country shows

Organiser Aztec Events is expecting more than 30,000 people for the Game and Country Shows in Suffolk and Newark.

The events will be on 12-13 October at Suffolk Showground and 19-20 October at Newark Showground.

As well as stands to buy local produce, the show will feature activities for the whole family including field archery, air rifle and clay pigeon shooting, entertaining and educational alpaca and sheep shearing displays.

“Whether you are a serious game enthusiast that enjoys the thrill of the countryside or are simply looking for a great day to spend with the family, our show always delivers a really great weekend jammed-packed with various interactive attractions,” said Aztec owner Matt Upson. “From gun dog training and medieval re-enactments to competitions and have-a-go field archery and games sessions, there’s something that will appeal to all ages.”

The Main arenas will also feature the Savage Skills Mountain Bike Display Team and the Dog and Duck Display Team’s sheepdog handling.
